Sometimes you just can't be bothered with the standard fishing minigame, and to that, I have two solutions:

1. Equip the bow and arrow, then use Dead Eye to highlight fish near the surface. Fish thankfully don't have as many weapon requirements for perfect pelt/meat quality as mammals, so stick an arrow or two into whichever one you fancy (even the Legendary Fish), and pick them up far easier.

2. Use dynamite. Though this will guarantee a "Poor" quality fish, the Legendary Animals are impervious to your explosion-happy "tactics". Plus, if you just want some grub to replenish a core before sleep, this a very quick way to get a handful of fish at once.
